COMMUNITY SUPPORTERS

It takes a lot of work and dedication to run a quality youth program. Our sponsors help us by providing financial assistance with their tax-deductible contributions that go directly towards funding our activities. Without their assistance, the opportunities we offer at AMERICA Division would not be financially accessible to all. We thank them for their continued support. If you would like more information on how to be a part of this team, please download our Sponsorship Package.

On September 10, 1962, Congress federally chartered the Naval Sea Cadet Corps under Public Law 87-655 as a non-profit civilian youth training organization for young people ages 13-17. The National Board of Directors for the NSCC administers the program, establishing policy and guidance for the operation of the Cadet Corps programs.
